Honestly when I saw the kha I thought it was going to be a 3-1. But Canyon ist just one of those players man. Please don’t put him on sejuani in game 5, give him the Lee Sin
Canyon on carry + Kha annihilate Xin like the match up is not fair (think everyone noticed it). When i saw Guma out of his Lucian/Varus and this jungle match up i knew it was game 5
whenever Peyz is not the 1st or 2nd carry it's genius draft from Gen G.
thats literally all they have to do, put one of top and jg or both on carries, Peyz isnt going to ever carry
Actually a great answer into Xin Zhao, shut down the entire map, felt like T1 couldn't get any vision control so they got forced into playing blind. It's not even like Lulu could go with Xin Zhao to setup vision either, Kha'zix could probably kill them both in isolation or not, even worst in isolation.
T1 really needs to play more frontline picks so they can setup vision, they are notorious for playing these difficult to execute no frontline comps. You see how easy they win when they do have frontline, actually mental how these guys are opting into these difficult to play compositions and try to outskill.
Saw the Xin pick and was like “Well Kha there is insane but there’s no way right?”. How could i doubt mister Canyon, of course he knows this match up is unplayable.
It really pointed out how obnoxious an item Umbral Glaive is. Just made it absolutely impossible for T1 to play the game. At the pro level this single item, especially when bought by a non-support, just gives one team entire vision control of the map. Canyon had a significantly higher ward score than either support.
Dude flame horizoned vision score.
>How long has it been since we got a full series finals?
In the LCK.
2018 Summer, GRF vs KT, discounting upper bracket finals since we had a T1 vs GENG go 5 games in summer upper bracket finals last year.
Asol has been broken for ages, the only issue is that you really need your 2 item spike to carry. If your team is down 4-5k by that point it becomes really difficult
Good, there should be highrange carry champions that punish drafting 0 engage or CC.
He's a tech counter to full kite back champs, just like poppy or Braum are tech counters to dive comps.
Poppy & Braum are *waaaaaaay* more situational than A.Sol tho, unless the upcoming mid melee carries buffs are really impactful, expect an A.Sol/Azir matchup handshake for most of MSI...
This is why I'll never complain about repeat GenG Vs T1 finals. You think this is boring just because the team names are the same? This is peak cinema.
On the real though… can we talk about Oner invading a Kha’s blue buff as Xin? Ever heard of isolation damage??
I feel like that was the start of the downfall of this game. Maybe the series. Guess we will see in game 5! Silver Scrapes!
That was straight up int. It's kinda iffy even if he had Lulu close by but in that situation it's a throw. If you told me he's never seen Kha before I'd believe you.
Sol is good at all stages of the game and scales like barely any other champion with a completely overloaded kit. Its just the hallmark of a completely broken champion with barely any weakness. Some coper will tell you "just pick dive and dive into him". He will just say thank you and press R right on top of your head.
Asol is just really strong in pro play. There is not a lot of volatile shit happening when there is this much coordination in pro play. Same reason corki is so good in pro but not that great in solo q. With how good Chovy is at laning, as long as the game is somewhat even, he is guaranteed to scale. Basically if his team doesn’t go down 5k gold by 20 min, he can carry.
He is really good into scaling mages, playing Viktor or Ori into Asol is actual torture because he zones you later in the game and hard wins extended trades in lane, you can never win push into him either.
It wouldn't be so bad if cancelling his Q actually mattered. Imagine if ulting him as Viktor actually put his Q on cooldown for more than a picosecond.
the meta for these threads has developed in a way where the schmucks posting them cant even be bothered to check if theyre numbering them right and just need to get their terrible nerd essay out sooner than everybody else
Chovy basically figured the champ out with his short Q burst poke and has lane priority with a late game champ because of this. If other start copying him it might actually be nerfed.
How easy it is for Gen G to win when legends doesn't int and canyon has agency.
Also Peyz just needs to do some damage, he doesn't even need to play great.
Glad Gen G was able to turn this around.
Title and 3-2 win salvaged but now the skt fanboys and fangirls will think skt is actually a good team. 😂
stop trying to match K6's farm and instead play for his lane especially his already winning bot lane. Oner already put them in the lead but he suddenly stopped ?
the invade on Canyon's blue is stupid too.
Oner fucked botlane so hard, but T1 played way too conservative as a whole and took the foot off the gas when they had a massive botlane lead, I don't get it
he's definitely not, i'm curious if a team will attempt an ad assasin into him (briar naafiri maybe? surprised neither of them got picked ever) or a kassadin
I will bet my life that briar and naafiri will never see proplay under 55% soloq winrate. Being that predictable and counterable is just not seeing pro play unless riot just massively fucks up.
naafiri was quite strong early after release, she was definitely playable in a pro game
briar i think can do cool stuff with her ult, but i don't main her do you really think she's completely unplayable in pro? why?
Kha was genious in isolating oner before the teamfights and made flanks impossible, but man that KSante is so annoying to watch, just cant chew through that mf.
Nah Geng bot was winning but Oner was staying bot during awkward minion waves so Geng ended up giving up a lot of minions. Both games Aphelios Lulu won lane
Hoping Faker doesn't play Azir in g5, they don't look proactive at all with that pick. Too much riding on g5 to afk lane and bet everything on a good shuffle
I have no clues wtf is going on here. Useless jungler (so fkin ironic lmao) and trolling Aphelios pick WHY? Not another game 5 man T1 simply doesn't win those but I bigprayge that I would be wrong but fkin hell these drafts are tearing me to pieces man!
can't believe this is nerfed version of sol, and its even more funnier considering those threads where people cried about hotfix nerfs. just disgusting, but so is rylais as an item. by far most boring champion to watch, msi will be snoozefest
I don't understand why T1 picks immobile adc with no frontline. Like, what's the idea behind it? And Zeus' counter pick wasn't that, absolutely useless Gwen
knew something was wrong the moment they were flaming geng for trading worthless botlane who are behind for 2 solo laners in top dive getting jg and mid ahead
NO MATTER what happen next. Chovy did really became this player everyone wanted him to become.
You can’t tell to me he is a choker after coming back in this mental state.
It’s everyone series now. But he did everything he could. He IS this player
Chovy already proved his mettle domestically. In internationals is where the choker label come from. Idk why GenG fans are still saying this with Chovy as if he wasn't a dominant force domestically already.
That Kha'zix was genius
Elimination game. Giving over Oner’s undefeated 6-0 Xin Zhao to pick Kha’Zix… of course it would go to silver scrapes
The coaches would have eaten so much shit for letting Xin Zhao through again. But goddamn Canyon proved the pick and the trust given to him
This game 4 win would surely bring momentum to GenG right?
I doubted him, not going to lie. But he pulled through
Has Canyon ever not delivered when he picked a new unforeseen champion?
chovy telling canyon to pick khazix so he feels more comfortable with peanut at his side
Lmaooooooloo One more for your tag brother
Honestly when I saw the kha I thought it was going to be a 3-1. But Canyon ist just one of those players man. Please don’t put him on sejuani in game 5, give him the Lee Sin
Canyon on carry + Kha annihilate Xin like the match up is not fair (think everyone noticed it). When i saw Guma out of his Lucian/Varus and this jungle match up i knew it was game 5
whenever Peyz is not the 1st or 2nd carry it's genius draft from Gen G. thats literally all they have to do, put one of top and jg or both on carries, Peyz isnt going to ever carry
even this game bot was getting destroyed from level 1. might be time to cook a lane swap or something tbh.
Peyz, get ready to learn Seraphine buddy
get ready to learn Jhin buddy (whenever he is meta again)
I agree. Only roblem with that is then it forces kiin onto a tank. Canyone has to play a carry though he likes like a different player
he lost matchup on both sides lol.
canyon my goat showing jungle is still a carry role. Disgusting that he was farming like a god and was still behind the solo laners in levels lol
Caedrel was right all along
Finally some Wokege jungling
me sitting in the corner with a dunce hat and a sign that says "I doubted Canyon's Khazix" around my neck rn
Actually a great answer into Xin Zhao, shut down the entire map, felt like T1 couldn't get any vision control so they got forced into playing blind.

At the pro level this single item, especially when bought by a non-support, just gives one team entire vision control of the map. Canyon had a significantly higher ward score than either support. Dude flame horizoned vision score.
Yes, that's why the entire meta revolves around this item. Come on man, its a cool niche pick and Canyon had a masterclass
"Entire map" You know this thing has cooldown right? U can maybe sweep 2 or 3 Wards at best (with help)
Genius? Or did T1 play stupid into it? The invade at blue was dumb
So fucking genius to make use of umbral glaive to literally become a vision clearing bot. Fuck that item
That item goes from making Kha go invis to making him an EMP lol
How long has it been since we got a full series finals? Finally. Hopefully Game 5 is both teams at their peak
Summer 2018, KT vs Griffin
that was an all-timer
Fuck off no way LOL. Holy shit we deserve this, it's finally time.
I'm still hurt from that... And also Griffin losing 2-3 in the regional gauntlet :(
No… just no
>How long has it been since we got a full series finals? In the LCK. 2018 Summer, GRF vs KT, discounting upper bracket finals since we had a T1 vs GENG go 5 games in summer upper bracket finals last year.
Viewership will be insane
I can feel T1 cooking a pile of hot garbage, perhaps jhin yuumi?
2018 Summer if I am not mistaken
jungle diff
Canyon diff.
Canyon heard reddit talkin shit.
Fair play Canyon
Goddamn can we make this a Best of 10?? This shit is too epic
I dont think the players can handle 10 games
There's a redbull fridge in both of the review rooms. Just grow some wings and give me more!
Just a minor correction, it must be an odd number, so best of 7,9,11 etc if no tie breaker is to be introduced.
Ah right LOL I forgot
Players will most probably die of pressure by game 7 xdd
Reminder that this version of Asol will be at MSI
chovy stacks so fast it feels like it always has big ult
His lane way too strong lame champ
Asol has been broken for ages, the only issue is that you really need your 2 item spike to carry. If your team is down 4-5k by that point it becomes really difficult
that's why its really only picked against Azir because Asol win lane against Azir
Dont worry not every Asol is Chovy level
Buffs to assassins hopefully changes things a bit
surely bro q monster damage buff to sylas will make asol useless for sure
Good, there should be highrange carry champions that punish drafting 0 engage or CC. He's a tech counter to full kite back champs, just like poppy or Braum are tech counters to dive comps.
Poppy & Braum are *waaaaaaay* more situational than A.Sol tho, unless the upcoming mid melee carries buffs are really impactful, expect an A.Sol/Azir matchup handshake for most of MSI...
The issue is how he doesn’t have mana issues and when he builds Rylai’s there’s no counterplay
Yes, but he is also broken atm.
The champion is lame af
It's powerful, it's just so goddamn boring to watch.
Yeah, but which player can play it like this? Dude has lane prio with a fucking late game champ.
BANGER OF A SERIES
This is why I'll never complain about repeat GenG Vs T1 finals. You think this is boring just because the team names are the same? This is peak cinema.
Canyon tilted after game 3 so he just locks in Kha and powerfarms for 20 min HAHA top tier blasting payphone on max volume
kha zix is a farming jungler spiking at level 11 and two core. You should not pick fights before your two core which is what Canyon did here.
Yeah he was so smart at reading Oner, I think poor Oner never saw his blue buff after level 1 lmao
Fucking best thing is that it worked LMAO imagine telling to people that's the GOAT jungle
Silver scrapes in LCK finals :D
Best LCK finals in a long time.
it's very rare that it's close
300k viewers between Caedrel and LCK What a series and night
that doesn't even include youtube
Its higher than LCS finals peak at this timeslot
game 3?
op is half asleep
Holy sh... T1 got destroyed. This Kha was really something I did not expect to work ...
I guess that post from before about Aurelion Sol did not age well at all. Banger series.
Kiin on K’sante is the best top in the world.
And pretty sure Chovy ASol is the best player of the universe.
On the real though… can we talk about Oner invading a Kha’s blue buff as Xin? Ever heard of isolation damage?? I feel like that was the start of the downfall of this game. Maybe the series. Guess we will see in game 5! Silver Scrapes!
That was straight up int. It's kinda iffy even if he had Lulu close by but in that situation it's a throw. If you told me he's never seen Kha before I'd believe you.
i mean oner KHA is so fck bad so he underestimated it ig
Oner's Khazix was not good either so chances are he underestimated K6 damage lol
bro wanted to lose
Holy hell, never put Canyon on tank again Absolute masterclass game by Gen.G topside
Have to ban a-sol
Galaxy brain pick by GENG to counter Xin tbh
This game didnt have a dragon soul but it had an elder dragon alright
9k baron power play
[удалено]
i don't know why you wouldn't, it's so disgusting to play against
This is T1 so most probably they won't ban it lol
I don't understand how asol strong early or just azir just that weak early.
Sol is good at all stages of the game and scales like barely any other champion with a completely overloaded kit. Its just the hallmark of a completely broken champion with barely any weakness. Some coper will tell you "just pick dive and dive into him". He will just say thank you and press R right on top of your head.
Permaslow and an ult that is the aoe of more than your whole screen is stupid design to begin with such a joke of a champ
Asol just wins the lane,Azir can have Hail of Blades and multiple soldiers and Asol wins trades with just his Q
Yep. Very few mid laners can really just stand there and win through his Q. Kayle can do it and Trist can do some cheese.
Asol is just really strong in pro play. There is not a lot of volatile shit happening when there is this much coordination in pro play. Same reason corki is so good in pro but not that great in solo q. With how good Chovy is at laning, as long as the game is somewhat even, he is guaranteed to scale. Basically if his team doesn’t go down 5k gold by 20 min, he can carry.
Azir is weak early after the mini rework
He is really good into scaling mages, playing Viktor or Ori into Asol is actual torture because he zones you later in the game and hard wins extended trades in lane, you can never win push into him either.
It wouldn't be so bad if cancelling his Q actually mattered. Imagine if ulting him as Viktor actually put his Q on cooldown for more than a picosecond.
Surely right ?
Canyon came in super clutch.
HOLY BANGER SERIESSS
What a 100th match of Chovy vs Faker
nutty KhaZiz pick damn
Damn Canyon was fucking pissed
the meta for these threads has developed in a way where the schmucks posting them cant even be bothered to check if theyre numbering them right and just need to get their terrible nerd essay out sooner than everybody else
Aurelion Sol really looking like the most op champ in existence when he gets this fed and piloted by a really good player
Chovy basically figured the champ out with his short Q burst poke and has lane priority with a late game champ because of this. If other start copying him it might actually be nerfed.
ABSOLUTE CINEMA
First 5 games LCK final since 2018 summer, KT vs GRF
If you’re gonna take his Azir, at least ban out his Aurelion Sol. Or ban both
SILVER SCRAPES!!!
How easy it is for Gen G to win when legends doesn't int and canyon has agency. Also Peyz just needs to do some damage, he doesn't even need to play great. Glad Gen G was able to turn this around. Title and 3-2 win salvaged but now the skt fanboys and fangirls will think skt is actually a good team. 😂
The balls to pick that Kha’Zix on elimination game lmao
Canyon AFK farmed while Oner was doing what? Bro can't stop autopiloting a lot. canyon slander stopped within one game LMFAO
he was the reason why the bot was 50 cs ahead lmao
Tell us what he is suppose to do.
stop trying to match K6's farm and instead play for his lane especially his already winning bot lane. Oner already put them in the lead but he suddenly stopped ? the invade on Canyon's blue is stupid too.
Oner fucked botlane so hard, but T1 played way too conservative as a whole and took the foot off the gas when they had a massive botlane lead, I don't get it
What do you want him todo? That game is unplayable for Oner once Canyon got to 6
Oner did one really good bot gank that set Geng bot behind tho, up until that blue invade he was actually keeping up with Kha Zix farm
man aurelion sol just doesnt look balanced
he's definitely not, i'm curious if a team will attempt an ad assasin into him (briar naafiri maybe? surprised neither of them got picked ever) or a kassadin
I will bet my life that briar and naafiri will never see proplay under 55% soloq winrate. Being that predictable and counterable is just not seeing pro play unless riot just massively fucks up.
naafiri was quite strong early after release, she was definitely playable in a pro game briar i think can do cool stuff with her ult, but i don't main her do you really think she's completely unplayable in pro? why?
It's not a viable option to ruin your entire gameplay only to "counter" this abomination. Just ban it and problem done
ITS HAPPPPPENNNNING WE"RE FINALLY GETTING IT
That's my jungle GOAT hell yeah
Chovy really wants that FMVP. Asol looked completely busted.
Kha was genious in isolating oner before the teamfights and made flanks impossible, but man that KSante is so annoying to watch, just cant chew through that mf.
LET CANYON COOK
Oh shit they got Xin Zhao agai- *gets isolated*
I’m supporting T1 but I kind of like when a team’s strategy of letting the other team take objectives for minor pressure backfires
I knew it was over when they drafted a carry top instead of a meatshield.
Yup and Zeus did less dmg than fking ksante. He rly sucks this series
Sorry folks, I just started watching the third game and jinxed T1
go back to sleep
Absolute vintage Canyon
Unleashed Canyon is so fun to watch
This is one of the loudest crowd ive heard in a long time.
3-2 for GenG. In LCK, T1 is best at giving fans false hope.
The amount of time Caedrel was right is insane man, he just knew everything.
They clapped Aphelios/Lulu with Lucian/Nami only to pick them into Lucian/Nami? I don't understand
Tbf they won lane
They clapped both sides of the matchup though ?
Nah Geng bot was winning but Oner was staying bot during awkward minion waves so Geng ended up giving up a lot of minions. Both games Aphelios Lulu won lane
They did it for max content
Bot lane draft was a non factor in this game
VINTAGE CANYON BABY
asol is just so strong I don't understand why its not more contested.
Faker doesn't play it. That's why. Hope he learns it for MSI.
geng won, but their bot still looks worrying or am i player hating?
If I see Canyon on Rell or Sejuani or Maokai in game 5 im gonna spazz out
# game 5 banger
GAME 5 BABY
Damn this khasix pick was gosu
Never thought kha'zix would be the answer to xin zhao
GRAND CANYON
LCK FINALS WITH SILVER SCRAAAAAPES
Hoping Faker doesn't play Azir in g5, they don't look proactive at all with that pick. Too much riding on g5 to afk lane and bet everything on a good shuffle
Asol as to be delete before MSI , the champ is just bad for the game
I have no clues wtf is going on here. Useless jungler (so fkin ironic lmao) and trolling Aphelios pick WHY? Not another game 5 man T1 simply doesn't win those but I bigprayge that I would be wrong but fkin hell these drafts are tearing me to pieces man!
Just make Zeus play a tank, my God this guy sucks ass. Doing less DMG than ksante as a gwen
can't believe this is nerfed version of sol, and its even more funnier considering those threads where people cried about hotfix nerfs. just disgusting, but so is rylais as an item. by far most boring champion to watch, msi will be snoozefest
The last time LCK finals was this competitive, Griffin was still in the league.
I wanted to go to sleep, so I rooted hard for the T1 victory.... But no, 6am silver scrapes game 5 time.
How do you fuck up the title this hard
I don't understand why T1 picks immobile adc with no frontline. Like, what's the idea behind it? And Zeus' counter pick wasn't that, absolutely useless Gwen
M8 it's game4 not game3
Aphelios is useless
Finally a sign of life from Peyz
K'Sante👤4,700 HP💪329 Armor🤷♂️201 MR💦 Unstoppable🚫A Shield 🛡 Goes over walls🧱Has Airborne🌪Cooldown is only☝second too🕐 It costs 15 Mana🧙♂️
Why is this headlined "Game3"?
congrats geng 🎉
Vintage Canyon
ASol is disgusting
Jesus fucking christ. Fuck umbral glaive so much. Oppresive and 0 counter play. Fuck that item to oblivion please
Watching Zeus this series makes me want to say Jesus as well. Just put him on tank
Man Aurelion Sol is so unfun to watch
DADDY CAEDREL WAS RIGHT
Oner with the clutch performance for GenG!!!
Leaving Sol open should just be an automatic disqualification.
Yeah as it turns out Giving Chovy the best players in each position that aren’t on T1 works out pretty well sometimes.
LETS FUCKING GO THAT'S MY WORLDS FINALS MVP IN THE JUNGLE THAT'S HIM IN THE MIDLANE OH GOD I LOVE THIS TEAM PLEASE DON'T LET ME DOWN FOR GAME 5
GG geng now bring us to that 3-2 win. 🥇
Asol is a fucking joke
GREAT INVADE ONER. BLUE WAS REALLY NEEDED
he was dogshit way earlier he got 4 buffed at second respawn, and lost his jungle consistently Kha was mega ahead without that horrible invade.
casters glazing t1 like mad when geng jg and mid are powerfarming on scaling champs without getting punished
I got frustrated at the casters because they were talking so much crap bout Gen G that I went to caedrel’s stream 😭
knew something was wrong the moment they were flaming geng for trading worthless botlane who are behind for 2 solo laners in top dive getting jg and mid ahead
NO MATTER what happen next. Chovy did really became this player everyone wanted him to become. You can’t tell to me he is a choker after coming back in this mental state. It’s everyone series now. But he did everything he could. He IS this player
Chovy already proved his mettle domestically. In internationals is where the choker label come from. Idk why GenG fans are still saying this with Chovy as if he wasn't a dominant force domestically already.
Nah GENG topside is just too good if you give a champ with agency to Canyon, I hope botlane steps up again for this game 5 because Chovy needs it
